Alex Jones's website has experienced sophisticated denial-of-service attacks originating from government and university computers.

But in the last two weeks, we've had two different dirty tricks done that are very sophisticated. I'm not going to get into what they did or what they exploited, but it's government-level type stuff. You clicked on a fucking email, you idiot. And it's very sophisticated. You got fished. And so we've got to basically watch the site 24 hours a day now. I'm having to hire more IT people just to watch 24 hours a day. I'm hiring an outside consulting firm to be able to deal with this. And then they went ahead and hit us with an old-fashioned denial-of-service attack. It's undoubtedly... We are getting a lot of traffic today. And traffic's much higher than it's ever been. But we were thinking early on, this is an all-time record traffic, which it pretty much would be, or almost a record. But we can see, and they've got graphs in there, I want them to get shots. All that's a new report because this is newsworthy. Showing that it's denial of service from a whole bunch of zombie computers, government computers, hijacked university computers, you name it.
